A Letter a Week: 'F'
Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 06:00AM 
This one was a lot of fun! As a mom of three boys, I've seen many a tadpole grow from tiny, black wiggling 'commas' to tadpoles, to froglets, and then to frog. Once, we raised a spring frog in a jar in our dining room and hadn't realized how quickly the four legged tadpole grew into a full fledged frog! He escaped, but after a few alarming moments and some help from our cat, George, we found him!
I can't wait until my grandson is old enough to bring home tadpoles!

I like this. My Mother-in-Law used to do many cross-stitch tapestries
Where are you? It is only 2p.m. on Tuesday here in the UK - I won't be posting my ABC Wednesday for another 12 hours or more!
OH! I AM early, aren't I? I have no idea what time it is in the UK. I posted mine after someone else had posted, thinking it must be time now. I guess from now on I shouldn't use THAT method of knowing when to post! ***blush***
What delightful frogs, from eggs to adulthood, plus the usual beautiful letter! I, too, raised 4 children and numerous amphibians, although in our house it was a salamander that got away and - alas! - was eventually found dessicated under the living room sofa.
another fun choice Kim. I've seen a few little guys with frogs clicking around ABC's this week. So darn cute. It will be fun to experience this with the latest little guy in your family...
Wonderful picture of your boys and the frogs. So typical eh?
Thanks again.
Hi Kim! Beautiful F! I'm so behind in commenting but I've thought often about you and your new grandbaby!
Tadpoles are a lot of fun, especially when you get to see them grow into frogs. Lovely art and calligraphy.
Oh I love how you illustrated the life cycle of a frog! Great handwriting, too!
I played, too! My "F" photo is up here.
I nice posting for F on ABC Wednesday. I remember frogs and tadpoles growing up, what a fun time. I love the photos, nice site.
Ah, this is fantastic. I think you are extremely creative and using the frog theme is very cute and I love this one very much!
This is a lovely letter design and I remember as a kid catching tadpoles in our ponds on the farm.
We have mutant tadpoles in our pond. they STILL haven't grown legs. they're just huge tadpoles!
: D
They aren't mutant! They are probably bull frog tadpoles. They can take up to two years to finish their transformation from egg to frog.
Great F - we collected frogspawn when we were kids - not sure my mum approved. The flooded footpath on my Paignton pic is from March.
Thank you so much for you comments on my F blog this week.
Love your choice, would never have come up with that myself nature has a great way of turning everything into art.
My second comment on the Frog, saw quite a few last week in Scotland near Loch Long mainly youngsters.
Great post.. I cant help wonder if George the frog ffinding cat brought back the little fella in one piece.. ;o) I just know my cat wouldnt.. but then she is always greedy and hungry.. lol.. Have a nice day and thanks for stopping by my blog.
Love the frog story. Your lettering is awesome.
Your letter F is For Frog is a Fabulous choice for ABC Wednesday.
Your caligraphy is Fantastic and very unique.
Bear((( )))
Thanks for dropping by for a visit. I love your calligraphy! As a mother of 4 children (all grown now), including two boys, we had our share of strange creatures growing in our house, too.
wow! raising frogs! never thought it would be fun.. but now it seems so! thank you!
The letter is lovely - I really enjoy what you do.
But the photos are absolutely beautiful!
